1.Introduction:
In developing countries the major driver of economic growth are financial institutions, which are interlinked through innovation in response to the forces of globalization and technology. Rigorous risk management efforts are made to strengthen the financial bodies and economy.
The three possible channel of financial stress spread from one financial institution to the remainder of financial organization are: other party vulnerability, capital markets linkages, and investor confidence. Prices, nevertheless, specify an innate way of measuring the interconnection amongst institutions by all three-risk diffusion means (Monks & Stringa, 2005).
Commencing since the mid-1990s a measure of risk recognized as value-at-risk (VaR) has appeared as the prevalent risk measure for financiers in financial securities, banks and investment companies and the controlling powers that standardize these institutions. VaR is also an important part of both the Basel I and Basel II suggestions upon banking rules published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Security and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) also emphasized the significance of VaR measures for financial institutions to quantity the risk.
The global financial crisis made regulators and researcher realize that systemic risk and their spread outs are misjudged in majorly applied risk procedures and that conventional risk measuring instruments, like value-at-risk (VaR), must be fine-tuned fitting to states of market to disclose risk in a better way. (Adams, Fuss, & Gropp, 2013). Measuring risk through VaR has the advantage that it reflects all risk relevant shocks of an institution that result from complex relationship of financial institutions.

The presence of systemic risk in the current United States financial system is undeniable. Systemic risks exist when the failure of one firm may topple others and destabilize the entire financial system. The firm is then "too big to fail," or perhaps more precisely, "too interconnected to fail.” The Federal Stability Oversight Council is charged with identifying systemic risks and gaps in regulation, making recommendations to regulators to address threats to financial stability, and promoting market discipline by eliminating the expectation that the US federal government will come to the assistance of firms in financial distress. Systemic risks can come through multiple forms, including counterparty risk on other financial ...

Globally, banks have been facing big challenges in the last few years and continue to do so. As a result of the financial crisis, the regulators have tightened the minimum capital requirements with the aims to create a more solid and shock-resistant banking system especially for the so called Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs). The Financial Stability Board is expecting to raise the total loss-absorbing capacity

Disappointment in financial risk management takes various structures, the greater part of which are exemplified in the present emergency. For instance, risk appraisals are regularly taking into account chronicled information, for example, changes in house costs after some time. Yet, fast financial advancement, including securitized subprime contracts, has made such information untrustworthy. Also, a few risks are missed on the grounds that they are covered up in excessively complex reports that leaders cannot get it (Stoian & Stoian, 2016).

If financial markets are instable, it will lead to sharp contraction of economic activity. For example, in this most recent financial crisis, a deterioration in financial institutions’ balance sheets, along with asset price decline and interest rate hikes increased market uncertainty thus, worsening what is called ‘adverse selection and moral hazard’. This is a serious dilemma created before business transactions occur which information is misleading and promotes doing business with the ‘most undesirable’ clients by a financial institution. In turn, these ‘most undesirable’ clients later engage in undesirable behavior. All of this leads to a decline in economic activity, more adverse selection and moral hazards, a banking crisis and further declining in economic activity. Ultimately, the banking crisis came and unanticipated price level increases and even further declines in economic activity.
